SEED TAG 2: HOW MANY WAYS IS THIS BAG OF PLOT SEED SCREWING YOU?

This is another clover mix from a big name food plot seed company at a big farm store chain. This is another bag I left there even though I needed seed four hours from home. Here's a few reasons why. 

1. Seed Coating - Clover needs a little bit of inoculant to help it produce nitrogen, but 32% coating is straight up theft, and the inert percentage is actually over 37%. All that means is only 63% (2.5 lbs) of your bag is actual seed that will grow into plants.

2. Crimson & Arrowleaf - These are annuals, so you're gonna lose about 20% of the bag to winter unless you let it go to seed and then mow it. If you're planting in the fall up north, it won't have time to go to seed. 

3. Hard Seed - Notice the immediate germination on the ladino is only 75%, with 15% more being hard seed (about 3% of the bag total). Hard seed won't germinate until after winter stratification, so in the planting year you're only getting 3/4 of the ladino you paid for.

4. Red Clover - At best you can usually get 2 years out of red clover, so you're losing that 16.5% by year three unless you let it go to seed and mow it.

Seed Tag Math
First, you lose 37% to seed coating and other inert matter, another 3% to the hard seed that won't germinate this year, next year you get that 3% back but lose the 20% annual clovers dropping out after winter, and then lose the red clover 16% by year three. That means in your planting year you only get 2.4 lbs of seed, in year two you're down to 1.7 lbs, and by year three you're down to 1.08 lbs.

Ever wonder why there's so many seed companies? $$$

What if I already planted this?
Make sure you let it go fully to seed before you mow it. You want to scatter all the free seed you can get...cuz this bag is designed to get you to buy more clover next year wondering why your plot looks thin. The owners will have a nice profit margin and vacation 😉

SEED TAG 1: HOW MANY WAYS IS THIS BAG OF PLOT SEED SCREWING YOU?

This is a clover mix from a big name food plot seed company. This bag is good for the owners of the company and the big shots they sponsor, but my money would never buy this.

1. Weight - You're only getting a 3.75 lb bag for the same price most clover blends are giving you 4 lbs. That's standard because clover is about 8 lbs an acre full rate. But this bag doesn't have 3.75 lbs of seed! More on that later.

2. Berseem - This is an annual, so you're gonna lose about 9% of the bag to winter.

3. Hard Seed - Notice the germination on the Marco Polo ladino is only 66%, with 28% more being hard seed (about 5% of the bag total). Hard seed won't germinate until after winter stratification, so in the planting year you're only getting 2/3 of the large leaf ladino you paid for.

4. Seed Coating - Clover needs a little bit of inoculant to help it produce nitrogen, but 34% coating is straight up theft. All that means is only 66% (2.5 lbs) of your bag is actual seed that will grow into plants.

5. Red Clover - At best you can usually get 2 years out of red clover, so you're losing that by year three unless you let it go to seed.

Seed Tag Math
So you only bought 3.75 lbs to start with. To you, it feels no different. To the company, that's 4 ounces they don't have to put in every bag. Then, you lose 34% to seed coating, another 5% to the hard seed that won't germinate this year, next year you get that 5% back but lose the 9% berseem clover dropping out after winter, and then lose the red clover 14% by year three. Don't forget you only started with 3.75 lbs rather than the standard 4 lbs for a standard clover half acre bag. That means in your planting year you only get 2.3 lbs of seed, in year two you're down to 2.1 lbs, and by year three you're down to 1.6 lbs.

Ever wonder why there's so many seed companies? $$$

HIGHLIGHTS FROM ONE OF JIM WARD'S OWN PROPERTIES SATURDAY...

Miscanthus
If you can grow it at your latitude, this perennial grass you see behind us is a great screen that doesn't take up much space and hits 10 to 12 feet tall no problem. Many of you who follow this page and the YouTube channel have seen the furthest north I have seen this growing well is near Elk River, Minnesota. 

Hinge Cutting
Deer love it. The immediate side and overhead cover you can create speaks their language. Pair it with timber harvest to maximize land value. Shoot for 50% canopy removal as you build bedding.

Food Plots
Jim has tried to build properties without food plots--chainsaw bedding only. Even in some of the most productive whitetail areas in the country, and even though over half the deer diet is woody browse, food plots matter. Start with perennials and add annuals if you have space and resources.

E-Bike Access
There's no less intrusive way to get deep into your property to hunt prime locations than a fast ride on an E-bike. No sweat. Very little noise. Consider one if you own a larger property, especially if you have hills or distance or have to get past deer bedding areas to access stand locations. 

Visit New Properties
We've gotten lazy and arrogant with the amount of content on social media. Go see real properties if you want to really improve as a deer hunter and habitat manager. You don't know everything, and seeing how other folks have built their best spots with boots on the ground changes things. Jim learns something new on every property.

Your Best Teacher
The deer that live and use your hunting area are your best teachers. Pay attention to how they do things, what they prefer, and what they don't like. In everything Jim does, he's thinking of how deer will like it and how it'll help his hunting.
